Sagebrush Hollow

1 site ¡ RV, Tent6 acres ¡ Chelan, WA
--OPEN FOR LATE WINTER/EARLY SPRING CAMPING!-- *If conditions allow for access. Full refund if weather makes it unaccessible Come relax and enjoy the views of the Columbia River and the North Cascades. Plenty of sunshine with epic sunsets, our property is where you come to unwind and soak in the sun when the east side of the Cascades is socked in with clouds and rain. If you want to explore the area, it's about a 10-minute car ride to the Columbia River and 20 minutes to Chelan and all that is offered there. Our favorite activities when we visit are to listen to the birds chirp and take in the surroundings. There are several lava rock piles that speak to the long and volcanic geological history of the area. We also really enjoy walking the dirt road on the ridge. It provides some of the most incredible views in the area. The dirt road section over the ridge can be a little rough and dusty and it's recommended that guests have a medium clearance vehicle, such as a Subaru Outback. However, a guest once drove their Honda Civic down to the site, so it really depends on your comfort level. If in doubt, just ask! We have a security camera on site we use for wildlife sightings and to check the weather. If the idea of having the camera bothers you, feel free to place a blanket or some other type of cover during your stay. We can also turn the camera to only face the entrance. Just let us know. Please respect the surroundings and others' property. There are several other vacation cabins in the area and everyone enjoys their peace and quiet. If you're looking for peace and tranquility, Sagebrush Hollow is the place for you.

The best camping near Steamboat Rock State Park guide

Overview

About

The best of both worlds reside here— beautiful scenery along with a bird's eye view of the Grand Coulee Dam.

Whether you call it a "mesa," "butte" or "rock," the 800 ft. elevation and 600 acres of Steamboat Rock offers some primo hiking. Thanks to the Ice Age doing some hefty craftwork, the landscape includes tons of columnar, basaltic rock.

Explore 50,000 feet of Banks Lake freshwater shoreline. You can also choose from activities like skiing, ice climbing, horse riding, and more.

Boats are welcome to dock here with dock and boat-in campsites to take advantage of. There is also a variety of standard campsites, full-hookup sites, and cabins along with separate showers and bathrooms. It's rightfully a popular place to be, so always make sure to call at least a month or so in advance to reserve a camping spot.

Notable campgrounds

  • Northrup Canyon: Offers equestrian-friendly sites for a unique camping experience amid nature.
  • Main Campground: Features a range of sites from primitive to full hookups, ensuring comfort for all campers.
  • Cabins: Provides cozy accommodations for those seeking a more contained outdoor retreat.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  • Book early, especially for peak season from April 1 to October 31, to secure your preferred spot.
  • Consider mid-week stays for better availability and a quieter camping experience.
  • Keep an eye on cancellations for last-minute opportunities to reserve a campsite.
  • Explore nearby camping options to maximize your chances of finding a great site.
